Course Outline

Module 1: Collaborate with documents

Where did that project information go? I just sent it…. Work with a Test Team to see how Microsoft Teams stores and organises your information, and discuss the best ways to use it. Co-author a team document and discuss changes with your team members at the same time.

Module 2: Information at your fingertips

Explore options for bringng other content into your team and take note of your favourites. Discuss which options are available to all team members always, and which options can be turned on and off by the Team Owner.

Module 3: Communicate effectively

Use Teams chat, meetings and video calls to interact with your team. Spice things up with a GIF or emoji and turn that dragging afternoon meeting into a fun, productive session.

Module 4: What's new?

One of the fantastic features of teams is its ability to keep members up to date, even if they’ve been away. But no one wants their phone buzzing constantly. Learn how to filter the notifications you receive and quickly find the new information that you’ve missed while you were away
